Thanks Big Al. It's slightly sad when a once well known figure of musical note gets a bit lost in the changes of music, particularly in the world of country. Back in the day BBC Radio 2 would play Tony Goodacre, and he recorded session material for 'Country Club'.

About 4 years ago a song my father wrote, which was recorded by Tony, was included in the background of an Australian TV detective drama 'Mystery Road', which was shown all over the world.   His approach to the song though was a bit dated, Gene Autry jingle jangle singing cowboy style, rather than torch ballad. It was still popular on easy-osey country request shows.

Tony recorded around 48 albums, many using recycled tracks - but was still recording up until Covid hit. He did do a lot to promote British writers and fellow country artists. using original material as well as covers.
